The war on drugs is the definition of insanity.P.J. O'Rourke had a good argument both for and against the drug war in his book C.E.O. of the Sofa where he was in favor of drug legalization because he was a staunch libertarian. He believed people had the right to snort mountains of blow, lose their jobs, their condos, and end up sleeping on his couch except he didn't sleep, bla bla bla, yammering on until (P.J.) shot him, being a staunch Libertarian and also pro gun.

However, the war on drugs caused small problems, coke boogers, drool, bloodstain, bullet damage to couches, etc.

It's a hoot, and I highly recommend reading it as opposed to my incoherent halfway remembered quote.
